Process
After a recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, I received a first telephone interview to learn more details about the position. The recruiter was pretty direct, and I did not feel comfortable or willing to invest in the process.

It used to be better
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
June 7, 2017
Pros: Good brand.
Cool culture.
Lots of freedom.
OK benefit.
Cons: 1. Underpay. No bonus. Crappy options.
2. Acquired some consulting company (I won't name it here) two years ago with a toxic culture and a charlatan leader (self-proclaimed thought leader, scientist, and entrepreneur). Somehow this toxic culture grew in the company. This "charlatan leader," who is hated by almost everyone, somehow has the ears of the CXOs and kept dishing out ridiculous/stupid roadmaps. It is pretty mind-blowing the leadership can't see this phony through.
3. Hiring like crazy. Extremely low bar. Bad onboarding. You can get hired even with only one thumb up.
